Answers to two of your questions interspersed below. (Probably was a bad idea to ask so many questions all at once. Granularity is good!)

If the cell bracket is actually enclosing a group of cells (or groups), it will have a small hook at its bottom. Select that cell bracket and double-click it. You refer to "the tiny triangle to the left". By default, you would never see such a GroupOpener. Either your notebook is using a style sheet where the option ShowGroupOpener has been applied to the Section (or Subsection, etc.), cells involved, or else a GroupOpener was explicitly added to that Section (or Subsection, etc.). > 4. What are your tips and tricks for newbies learning how to do stuff in mathematica? For example, one trick I learned is to use the Cell->Show Expression hotkey (Shift+Ctrl+E) to steal low-level code of things I don't understand yet and paste them into other things and figure out what they do. I'm looking for more 'tricks'. > > -What are your favorite mathematica resources? Are there websites that have libraries of resources such as custom stylesheets, or add-ons for mathematica for free? > Take a look at the following post to mathematica.stackexchange.com: http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/18/where-can-i-find-examples-of-good-mathematica-programming-practice --- Murray Eisenberg murray at math.umass.edu Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
